Northwood took their A game to Kearsney and right from the first whistle they dominated the game. Northwood’s passing game was very accurate and put Kearsney’s defence under pressure. Kearsney tried to play high up in their half and in the beginning they managed to catch Northwood off side on a number of occasions. Kearsney was playing a dangerous game and it was only a matter of time before Northwood caught Kearsney out.
Twice in a matter of minutes Northwood played the ball over the top for captain Nto Sibisi who calmly placed the ball past the stranded Kearsney goal keeper. Northwood did not relax and kept the pressure on and 5 minutes later Sibisi once again was in the clear and completed his hat-trick with another well placed shot.
Towards the end of the 1st half Kearsney were awarded a penalty which their captain put wide of the goal. At half time Northwood held a very comfortable 3-0 after dominating the half. Not much changed in the second half with Northwood continuing to dominate. It wasn’t long before Northwood added a 4th goal after a corner and Nkanyiso Ntombela headed the ball into the top of the net.
It was Kearsney who scored next when they were awarded a second penalty which they managed to score. The rest of the half saw Northwood having a number of shots but did not manage to score again.
The 4-1 score was a true reflection of the game as Northwood played exceptionally well.
